ONE QUART 0F BOOZE IS THE LIMIT FOR ALBERTA PI'HhHJHiMI under- the amended not \wnt intn full forcn in Alberta n11 Thursday 01‘ last week. on Thursday 01 11151 \yeeK. The new amendments tn the li- quor act were. scheduled to become effective «in July 1st. but. three days of grace were given the dealers and mail-order houses in which they might close up business. Begin- ning with last Thursday. the new regulations are. eti‘ectiye in tutu. It is nut. permissable for any person in Alberta to keep liquor in excess of une quart. of spirits and two gallons of malt. This automatically rules out everything in the way of \vareâ€" houses and commission firms, and the several establishments in the. city of Edmonton that were doing business under the former system have closed their doors according- 1y. It is also a provision of the nevv act that. there shall be. no ad- vertising of any description in the interests of any kind of liquor. This applies not only to newspaper ad- vertising. but to the display of e1- ectric signs, blll- posting. or circu- larizing by mail. the lavv expressly stipulating that there shall be no attempt to advertise liquor within the province in any way or form.

As personal experience on‘ such an occasion is much more en- lightening and interesting than an account given by the newspapers, we reproduce what he has written home about the incident. On the date of the. raid he and three com- panions were spending the day in a private home in Folkstone. He was practising on Ia piano after tea, when an explosion outside was heard. As such noises are not un- common near military camps, no attention was paid to it; but when ‘two more (*XDlHSlUllS followed in quick succession, he. thought. it time to go out and see what was going on. The remainder is given in his own words, as. follows: “We \\ ere about the firs t on the street. I \xalked out to othe centre of the street and peered up into the sky. for the thought quickly came. to me that. there must be a raid of some kind going on, but. whether it was an air raid, or one from the. sea, I did not know. I thought of the Zcpps first, anyway. Soon the people all .1) ~gan to flock out of their homes. and stood looking upwards. For a moment, I could not get my eyes focused on anything. Then, the next instant, I caught. sight of a single, tiny. glistening object, a1- Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be (lured by local applications, as they can-j not reach the diseased portions of the car. This is only one. may to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Ca- tarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearâ€" ing, and when it is entirely closed. deafness is the result. Unless the in- flammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed for- ever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur- faces. Hall’s catarrh cure acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. most directly above. It was not a Zepp, but an aeroplane. so high that. it looked more like a speck than anything else. W e learned later that they were flying at. :1 height of 12,000 to 15,000 feet above the. earth. In another minute or so I could see two, threeâ€"and then a whole squadron of the little white things. Simultaneously with the sight of these, that wonderful sound cameâ€"almost exactly like that of a swarm of bees buzzing around a hive. only louder and very distinCL. They seemed to hover overhead. Then swishlâ€"bangll a tremendous roar! the houses shook, and a win- dow in a house across the. street crashed to pieces. In the next few minutes, the bombs were falling fast. Some seemed exceedingly close. others not so close. we were looking and expecting our aero- planes to go up in pursuit, but none appeared. \Vhat a wonderful sight it wastâ€"~11 beautiful sight. those seventeen bird-like specks of while. Yes, and so harmless-loot;- ingfl-but how horribly deadly. It; was exceedingly interdsting tol watch the men, women and child-‘ ren. They were very calm. There‘ were few seen who became very ex~ cited, altl'iough I sUppose practim‘ cally every one realized the great danger threatening them at the moâ€" ment. It was hard when some of the little children began to cry, and it was indeed hard to See the poor}. women, too, but they were just as brave as any one. The raid, or actual bombardment of the city, probably lasted fifteen minutes. but the intensity of the strain for that short time (from 6.20 to 6.35;, was such as to prM'e tryii g to the strongest nerves. Needless to say, that after it was all over. and the. Huns and their Taubes had gone past. {gain on their return flight across the channel, we all felt a rather strange sensation of relief. We. walked down the. street. and a- round the corner. Every window, ‘t'rom one end to the other, was shatâ€" tered to pieces by the concussion. A high explosive bomb had been dropped a few rods away in an open space away from the buildings. blowing a hole 15 feet wide and .3 feet deep in the ground. We went through a field where an aerial tor- pedo had fallen. but had not. ex- ploded. I had a good look at it. It was about 20 to 22 Inches long, in- cluding the tail, which would be about 10 inches in length. They are filled with a Very high explosive .and are timed so that they will not go off until they penetrate a build- ing, when they explode with ierifl‘u. force.

Many of the escapes were remarkable. Practically lln 1mm tar’y or naval damage was dump. and those who were killed my in- jured were innocent and hump... victims. Red Cross ambulances were seen rushing:r along the strut full 01‘ the wounded. immediatel} after the raid. It was the wax-,1 raid since the war lwgtiil.']'l1. number of victims was 230â€"461 {.111 ed and 174 injured. Another raid such as this one will not likely we- cur again.
